INNOVATIVE COOKTOP FEATURES

The gas cooktop you have bought has some innovative features, compared with traditional gas cooktops.

•Easy burner lighting

after switching the cooktop on with the ON/ OFF button just turn the knob. There is no need to keep it pressed down or to press a separate igniter.

•The burner knob can be turned in both directions: to the right the burner goes to the minimum, to the left it goes directly to the maximum. There is no need to go through the other levels.

•The ON/OFF push-button turns off all the working burners immediately, so that you can act quickly if there is an unexpected situation on the cooktop (water spill, dangerous situation with children, etc.).

•With automatic relighting the cooktop can react to the burner being turned off, relighting it automatically. If relighting happens too frequently, however, the cooktop recognises that there is something wrong and informs the user. This avoids continuous attempts to relight which could make the product dangerous.

Warning

Improper use of the grids can result in damage to the hob: do not position the grids upside down or slide them across the hob.

Do not use:

-cast iron griddles or terracotta pots and pans

-heat diffusers such as metal mesh, or any other types

-two burners simultaneously for one receptacle (e.g. fish kettle).

•The minute counter can be used when the cooktop is being used, for cooking needs, and when the product is switched off for needs not directly linked to the cooktop.

•Instead the timer can operate directly on the burner, turning it off automatically at the end of the set time.

•The timer can be used both with a burner turned off, and with a burner already lit, where cooking is taking place, just by turning the corresponding knob: this function can be useful when cooking must continue for a set number of minutes once the water is boiling.

•The timer can also be switched off without turning the burner off, as at the end of normal timer use: cooking can then continue for as long as wished without turning the burner off.

•Residual heat pilot lights at the cooktop centre indicate that the grid is still hot.

•Attention: When switching on the cooktop after a power failure, the residual heat pilot lights remain off, even if the grids are still hot.

•Using the search for the minimum the cooktop can automatically identify the lowest minimum compatible with the local gas network distribution conditions at the time the function is used.

The burner can thus be used for long cooking at the lowest level possible, without turning the knob in the OFF direction, as in traditional cooktops, when the knob minimum is too high.

•When searching for the minimum the knob checks the flame continuously through its

range, as it has a direct flame-knob link on all its rotation.

•As in modern cars this cooktop has selfdiagnosis capacity and can signal abnormal situations which require the help of the Technical After-Sales Service.

DESCRIPTION OF THE KNOBS AND COOKTOP OPERATION

COOKTOP OPERATION

•Turn the knob corresponding to the burner to be used to the position required. The pilot light near the knob and the residual heat light come on.

—If this happens too often, the cooktop recognises the abnormal situation, turns off the burner involved, sounds a warning and flashes “0”. In this case turn the knob to “0”.

—If at the end of cooking the cooktop is not

switched off by pressing button , after a few minutes pilot light begins to flash and an acoustic signal is given, until the cooktop is switched off.

—This obligatory switching off function reduces the consumption of electricity when the product is not working and also makes sure that the product cannot be switched on by accident (knocking the knobs, faults, etc....)

—If the cooktop is used for too long, the display indicates “H” and the cooktop switches off until the electronic components cool down. The indication “H” then flashes. Turn the knob to “0” and light the burners again, if necessary.
